About This Item

New York: Knopf, 2008. 112 pp. Signed by the author on the title page. "So the voice engulfed us, / whirling us to the past; / when silence claimed us // we waited in that endless line / to grace our crisp new books / with the fissure of his name. // As we inched forward / we touched each other / on the thigh, the cheek, / almost by accident, / as if to remind ourselves / how it had been to be alive-- / pure fire."--from "Autopoiesis". Signed by Author. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
